Background

ILoveMakonnen was originally released as a free EP from the artist in July 2014. As a result of the success with the remixed version of "Club Goin’ Up on a Tuesday" by Drake, an EP was determined to be re-released in later in the year on December 15, 2014 through OVO Sound.{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6236546/ilovemakonnen-signs-to-drakes-ovo-sound |title=ILoveMakonnen Signs To Drake's OVO Sound |work=Billboard |location=United States |publisher=Billboard |accessdate=September 1, 2014}} The track list however cuts the original seven songs on the mixtape to mastered versions and two new songs on the purchaseable EP. A track titled "Swerve" would be the only new song to be released on the EP.{{cite web |url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-love-makonnen/id948443606 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215062006/https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-love-makonnen/id948443606 |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 15, 2014 |title=I Love Makonnen – EP by ILoveMakonnen |work=iTunes Store |date=15 December 2014 |location=United States |publisher=Apple |accessdate=December 15, 2014}}
